Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Quilow could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
