No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Habo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
