Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Lapseki escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
