No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Salgar holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
