Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Cisarua holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
