Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Pahuman escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
