Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Lodtunduh vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.
