If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your holiday in Sairme.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
