Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Ergani escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
