We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Pattadakal before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
