If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in Turt. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
