If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Soper.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks may also help.
