If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your time in Atyra.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
