Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Mili Marina vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
