Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Constanza could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We’ve pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh 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 rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
