Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Wando escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
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 liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
