Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Paradisi escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
