Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Fouke vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
