Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Ly escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
