Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Surgoinsville escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
