Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Turmi escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
