Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Sambalpur escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
