Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Exmouth holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
