No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your West Achaea escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
