Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Stranorlar holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
