If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Stalbridge.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
