No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Piangil escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
