Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Imota escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
