No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Avesta escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
