Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Baud could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
