No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will get your Affile vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
