Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Illaga vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans 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:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
