Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Dendron vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
