Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will get your Veryi escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
