No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Dinant holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
