Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Shobara holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
