If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Himarë. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
