If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Cedarville.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
