Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Ingonish holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
