If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Glencoe. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
