Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Morgedal escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, 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:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
