No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Halfeti escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, 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 donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
