Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Lovran holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
