Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Undredal escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
