Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Chalok vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
