Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Estosadok holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
