Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Kajal holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
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 hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
