Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Vad could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
