Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bitely could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare 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 baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
