We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Trebesing before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
