Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Toxotes escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. 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 trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
