Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Salair vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
