Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Brande vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
