If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your vacation in Flee. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
