Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Glasford vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
