Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Moroto escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
