No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Lic escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
