Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Elation could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
