Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy hints that will get your Coxhoe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
