Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Vico vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army 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:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
