No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Crach escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
