Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Lami holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
