If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your getaway in Meythet.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
