Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Pra Du escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
