No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Gaya vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets 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 wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
