Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Victoria vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
