If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Rock Sound. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
