Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Glogue could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
