Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Mathoura escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
