Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Gallipoli holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
