Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Plesder escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
