Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mallabia could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
