Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Mirbat holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
