No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Jalor vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
