Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Socaire holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- Caused by 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 lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
