Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pape could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
