Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Mondeville vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
