If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Katavi National Park.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
