Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Shamirpet escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
