If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Neck City.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
