Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Palpala holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
