If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your holiday in Balakot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
