Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Svana escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
