Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Upahl could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
