Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Aourir escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
