Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to At-Taybeh could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
