Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Seixo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
