Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy hints that will get your Antirrio vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
