Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ydes could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
