Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Moa could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
