Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re prepared. We’ve put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Moro vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
