Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Harrington could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
