If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Caronal. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
