Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Haveland escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
