| Baggage

- Check
with the
airline
you are
traveling
with on
the stipulated
baggage
allowances.
- Ensure
that your
hand baggage
allowance
does not
exceed
the level
enforced
by the
airline

This ensures
unnecessary
embarrassment
at the
check-in
desk,
having
to move
luggage
from your
hand baggage
to your
suitcase.

-
Try
to leave
plenty
of time
for
checking
in at
the
airport.
- Always
reconfirm
your flights
before
setting
out for
the airport
(do this
about
24 hours
before
time of
travel).
- Check
Duty Free
allowances
carefully
particularly
on EU
destinations.
- Try
to book
your flights
outside
of peak
hours,
in order
to avoid
busy commuter
routes
and congestion
at the
airport.
- Do
not drink
too much
before
boarding
the aircraft,
as alcohol
and cabin
pressure
cause
enhanced
dehydration.
You are
also unable
to use
the toilets
until
the aircraft
is airborne
and at
a safe
altitude
for the
seat belt
sign to
be taken
off.
-
Check
with
the
airline
you
are
traveling
with,
as
to
the
availability
of
telephone
and
lap
top
power
points
on
board.
-
Leave
contact
details
for
yourself
either
with
someone
at
home
or
somebody
in
the
office
in
case
they
need
to
reach
you
in
an
emergency.
-
A
phrase
book
is always
handy
- remember,
not
everyone
speaks
English.

|
| Jetlag
|
- Try
to drink
plenty
of water
whilst
on the
aircraft
as this
helps
to counter
dehydration.
- Check
in flight
magazines,
for gentle
exercises
to do
whilst
on board
to stop
stiffness
and tiredness
of joints.
- Cleanse
and moisturize
skin regularly
whilst
on board
again
to counter
dehydration.
- Eat
a light
meal onboard
as easier
to digest,
avoid
excessive
carbohydrates
and fats.
