If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Dickens. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
