Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Linda could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
