If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Suttsu.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
