Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Ingria vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
