If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Austwell.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy 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 travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
