No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Henriville escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
