Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Ashley vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
