Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Dawson escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
