Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Rivne escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed shoes 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 drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
