No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Kenmore escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
