We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Hawabango before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh 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 to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
