Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Allanton vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
