Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Arcola escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
