No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Diklo escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
