If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Herbert. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
