Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Vacha could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
