Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Ruhnu escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
