No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Lecci escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
