No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Tandag escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
