Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Sulthan Bathery holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
