Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Gujo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
