If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Ine.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, 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 air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
