Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Roswell holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
