No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Aramo holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), 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.
