No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Clowne vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
