Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Srisailam holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
