If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your vacation in Glasgow. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
