No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Rhens holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of 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 feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
