Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Chodo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
