No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Cabia holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
