If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Dyer. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
