Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Rajahmundry escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
