Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Foustani could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave 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 objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
