Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Limbe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
