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 the airport and discovering Bukha before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
