Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Newcastle vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
