Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Tivoli escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
