Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Briggsdale vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
