Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Stokes Bay vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
