No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Formerie escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
