If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Orient Bay. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
