No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Tatev holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
