Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Khajuraho holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
