Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Stalden escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
