If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your vacation in Veggli.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
