Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Goodman escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
