Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Lemont holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
