Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gogunda could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
