No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Bromolla escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
