No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Shada vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
