Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Volgo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers 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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
