If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Banda Nkwanta.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
