No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Lebesby escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. 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 thank you later.
- Most of us 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 quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
