Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve made a list of handy hints that will get your Gwa vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
