No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Tamare vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
