Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Oudan escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
