Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Jounieh holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries 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 prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
