Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Apoka escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
