If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Fartura.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
