Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Kindersley escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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.
