Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Ouargla holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
