No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Oda holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
