Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve put together a list of handy hints that will get your Charlo vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
