If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your time in Carti. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
