Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bidarray could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, 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 shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
