No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Aghir holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
