Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Pukemoremore escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, 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:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
