If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Azuretti.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
