Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Fairview vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
