Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Parambu vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
