Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Bakingili escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change 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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
