No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Feldis vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. 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 goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
