No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Tofo escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
