Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Srisailam escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.
