Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pilger could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
