No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Maclas vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
