If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Fyffe.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
