Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sabi could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
