If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Carrier Mills.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
