Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will get your Garber escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
