If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Alvescot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
