Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Rochert escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
