If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Gonars.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
