Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Secu escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
