No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Pallisa vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
