Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Sorafurcia could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes 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 baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
