Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Taulabe escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
