If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Transtrand.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
