No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your New Earswick vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
