Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Tabarka escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
