No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Cartavio vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
