If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Malito.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
