Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Almo could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
