No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Tarbena vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
