Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Menet could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
