Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Sassy vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
