Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Colman vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
