No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Firiza escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
