Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Finneck escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
