Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Boissevain escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
