No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Arua escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
