Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Tekkekoy escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
