Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re well organized. Check out these handy hints that will get your Dumai escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
