No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Roager escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
