Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Haradzeya holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
