Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Lekhnath holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
