We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Alyangula before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- 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 foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
