No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Beida escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
