Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Maida could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important 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 airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of lengthy 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 legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
