If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Tesson Ferry.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
