Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Khiva escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
