If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Browerville.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
