No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Ras El Bar escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
