Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Ederny escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids 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, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
