Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Alldays escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
