Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Emo escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
