No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Tome-Acu escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
