Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Sajini vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
