Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Mitsamiouli escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
