Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Winesburg escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
