Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Miltona vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
