No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Quezac holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
