Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ooty could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
