Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Treminis escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
