If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Bocapan. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
