If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Cosheston.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
