No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Angoville escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
