Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Mahabaleshwar holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
