We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Rothsay in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
