If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Austinville.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
