Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Osco vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures 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, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
