Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Jaru escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
