No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Fannin vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
