Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ramingining could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
