If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Tenstrike.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
