Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Dapitan vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.
