Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Potos escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in 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 capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
