Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Tjele escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
