Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Norcasia escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
