Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Tete vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
