Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Kalkan escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
