No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Okeana vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
