No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Ota escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any 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 products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
