No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Origlio vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
