Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Menemen could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
