No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Dayton escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
