Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Stratford vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
