If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Miranda. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
