No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Allahabad holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
