Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Arinsal holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
