Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Insan vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
