Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Afetes could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
