If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Gracehill.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
