No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Celon vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
