Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Calovébora escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
