If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your vacation in Ibrrahne.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
