If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Mayac. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
