Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Anmore escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.
