No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Tranco escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
