Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Ladhi vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
