Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Ugine holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
