Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Ina escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
