No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Bethlehem escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
