Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Yalvac could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
