If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Wingo. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects 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 highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
