Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Dewitt vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
