No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Bangula vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.
