No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Bandon vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
