If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Munte.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.
