Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Doda vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
