If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Dodworth.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
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 by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
