Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Bacabal escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
