Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Palora escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
