Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Tezanos escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
