Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Senille could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
