If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Chibed. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, 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:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
