We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Uvira in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
