Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Turtuk could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
