Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Jonaker escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
