Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Taluk Du escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
