If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Besset.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan 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 distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
