Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Eilat holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
