No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Erro vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
