No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Sibi vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
