Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Cachipo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
