Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Simunye escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
