Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy hints that will get your Fordyce vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
