Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Derna escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, 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 rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks can also help.
