Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Turia Pasika could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
