Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Marysville escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
