Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Silistra escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
