Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your General Roca holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
