No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Forthampton vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination 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 conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
