If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Glennie.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
