Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Saemaji escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
