Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Celina escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater 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. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
