Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will get your Yepan vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
