We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Muta in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
