Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Tsybli vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave 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 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
