No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Dixcove holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
