No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Loucha vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
