Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Alpicat vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
