Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Shoghi vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
