No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Glenmont vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
