Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Jharol could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
