Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Webster escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
