Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Farakka escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
