Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Trimbak escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
