If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Poti.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
