If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Con Co. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
