If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Lassan.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
