No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Effiduase holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
