Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Venthon escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
