If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Tepas.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
