Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Elios escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
