Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Zelhem could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking 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 guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
