No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Carutapera vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
