Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Yurga escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
