Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Advance escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
