Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Solosolo could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
