Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re well organized. We’ve put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Namu vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
