If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your time in Anelo. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling 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 to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
