No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Coroico escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
