Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Numfoor vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.
