Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Almora holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
