Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Robe escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
