Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Dharchula escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
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 your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
