Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Callapoose vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
