If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Salen.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
