Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Battle Creek escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
