If you’re not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Central.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
