Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Salazac escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
