Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Grahamsville vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
