Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Datçan escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
