Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Volovo vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of 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.
