Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Haima escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
