No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Malevizi holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
