No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Felino vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
