Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Futrono escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
