Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Oppurg escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
