Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Artybash escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
