No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Bach escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant 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 hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
