No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Imbil vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
