Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Thiruvavaduthurai could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
