We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Loparevo in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
