No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Floweree holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
