Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Port Berge holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
