We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Bihar Sharif in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. 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 beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
