No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Rentina escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
