If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Granisle. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
