If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Farmington.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze 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 or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.
