Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Springbrook vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- 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 walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
