No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Yanakie vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.
