No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Purnia vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
