No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Bitola escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable 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:
- Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.
