Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Fields escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
