No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Hartsel vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel 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 authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
