Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Lovech escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
