If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Prinsburg.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
