No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Lumbini holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted 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:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
