No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips that will get your Hite vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo 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 Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
