Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Ranchester vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
