Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Pokolbin holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
