Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Gewane escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- You're probably 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 lower limbs often.
