Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Oyten escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
