Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Holdingford vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. 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 a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a sweater in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
