Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re well organized. We’ve put together a list of handy tips that will get your Grabill vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, 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 prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, 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:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is 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 flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
