No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Greeba holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
