Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Glen Lorne holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
