Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Ciz escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
