No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Jurema escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember 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 can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
