If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Gode. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents 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 rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
