Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Wenchi escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
