No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Tempate holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking 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 to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
