If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Cauge.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
