No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Tripi vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready 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 baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
