Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Sasakwa escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
