Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Jars could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
