Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Svetloe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
