If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Henderson. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects 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 aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
