Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Tarapith holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
