Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Uige vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
