Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Nant Peris vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
