Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Pereira escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended 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.
