If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Inkom.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
