Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Novorzhev escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
