Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Gund escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
