No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will get your Raksta escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready 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) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
