No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Briggston escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
