Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Aurel could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
