Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Fonda could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
