If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Languenan.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also recommended.
