Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Colchane holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger 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 your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
