No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Rejmyre escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take 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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
