No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Bille escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
