No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Cazenovia escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying 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 walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
