Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Vernal vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
