Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Marlioz escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
