If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Brae.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
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 prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
