Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Virajpet could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
