We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Arambol before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze 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 objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
