Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Coya escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
