No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Sevan escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
