No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Murmashi escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
