We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be cruising through the airport and exploring Armila before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
