No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Borgloh escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
