Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Begard vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
