We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Rada in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- 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 ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
