Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Asnelles vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
