If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Fineview.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
