No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Amyntaio escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
