Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Gutau escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
