Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Mauriceville escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
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 things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
