Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Lunenburg escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.
