Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Rubuguri escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
