Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Sablayan could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don’t forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
