Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Assis escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown 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 lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
