Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Danapur holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
