Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well organized. Follow these handy hints that will get your Smara vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
