Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Sheregesh escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
