Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Bosen vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
