No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Duri escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring 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 baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
