Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Veno escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
