No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Terney vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
