No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Pisac escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
