Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Bembibre holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
