Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Lodeve escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
