Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Boundiali could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
