No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Tierga escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
