Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Nevel' vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
