Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your St. Peter holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
