No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Bonete escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any 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 flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
