Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Reningelst could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
