Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Şarköy could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
