Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Atolia could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
