If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Hermleigh.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
