No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Dagua holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.
