Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Beriain vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant 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 can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
