Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Song-Kul escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
