No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Ciliau-Aeron holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
