Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Renvyle escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
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 things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
