Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Arnegg vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
