Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Sesimbra holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
