Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Siorapaluk escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
