No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Sando escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
