Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Mandrem escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
