Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Lagun holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
