If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Boo-Silhen.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
