No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Buerba vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
