We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Yellapur in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
