No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Auckley vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
