No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Obidos holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
