If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Daleville.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
