Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Carr escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
