We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Acacias in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
