Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Holcombe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
