Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sabael could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
