Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Bethany vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
