No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Barbeau escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
