Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Meade vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
