If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Wallace. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
