If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Toffia.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
