No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Filyos holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
