Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Apostoles holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
