Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Altrón escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
