If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Serdivan.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
