Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Toinasa could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
