Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Grayson could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
