Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Pallapatti vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
