Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Bacho escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.
