Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Lelu Village escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.
