Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Sherburn vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave 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. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
