Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Kalomoira escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
