If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Silivri.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.
