Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Marsanne holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
