Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Rivne escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.
