No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Jannusan escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
