Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Munnar holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
