Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Golyazi escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing 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) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
