Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Batchelor holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
