Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Brantingham vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set 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) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
