If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Ersa.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
