Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Oyin escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
