Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Göcek escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
