We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Betioky in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
