No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips that will get your Segus vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
