No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re well organised. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Rust escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
