Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Chalcis escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
