If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Teras.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
