Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Honkra could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
