No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Laurium 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 basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
