Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Hamilton vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
