Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Putre holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
