No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Aliaga holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
