If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Palanca.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
