Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Deepwater escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean 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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose 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 in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
