No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Mitu holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
