Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Lablab escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
