We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Valtura before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
