If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Stio. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
