Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Llanwrda vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
