Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Kirkoswald escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
