No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Molina escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
