Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Foini vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
