Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Nivala escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
