Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Amity vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
