Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Shamattawa escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
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) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
