We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Sardara in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
