Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Uncinano vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
