If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Stilos.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily 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 catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
