If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Jiri. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
