Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Oyo vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
