No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Vagsoy holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
