If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Raman.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
