Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Gay escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
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 take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
