Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Pelitkoy escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
