Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Pujili holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
